Black women are becoming some of the most successful group of entrepreneurs worldwide. By dint of hard work, many of them have joined the list of richest self-made women in America. The list, compiled annually by Forbes, details the worth of America’s most successful women entrepreneurs and executives. 

This year’s Forbes list put a spotlight on the 100 richest self-made entrepreneurs, executives and entertainers in the U.S. worth a collective $90 billion. Members hail from all over the U.S. but are heavily concentrated in California where 45 live, said Forbes. Fortunes were calculated using stock prices from September 11, 2020.
